3.   We seek the Lord’s blessing for:  … Sally Niemann, as she prayerfully considers the Divine Call extended to her to serve SPLCS as a Commissioned Minister of Religion–Teacher;  … Joey & Janice Denney, and Pastor Ed & Becca, who will travel to Omaha this week for the final immersion experience of their participation in PLI’s “D2MC” training;  … the negotiations for the pending sale of the Pin Oak Acres Apartments, and all that will follow for the corporation, tenants, and our congregation;  … One of our Own, facing an additional 5-months of incarceration for a previous probation violation.

4.   We raise up the ministry of the Gospel – especially: … our October “Mission of the Month” – supporting Tom & Cheryl Orlowski with needed home repairs (allowing Tom to remain at home rather than enter nursing home care) – gifts now total $165, toward a $12,000 need;  … the process for nominating our future Ministry Directors, that the Lord would direct our actions to align with His plan for our congregation;  … the plans for each of us to “Be the Church” to our unchurched friends, neighbors and co-workers this Sunday;  … all our congregational ministries: the School, Kid’s Connection, Paul’s Buffet, Dinner Church, the 7th Street Feast, our KKLO Broadcast, the Community Garden (and more) – that the Lord would use them (and us) to bring people to know His saving grace.

* Romans 1:16 – “The gospel … is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.”
